Re: Where'd ya get that nick??
Some reasons why I took this alias I have:
- it's orcish, and I like orcs
- it means "Old Man", and age is something I respect greatly
- "Old Man" is somehow ironic for my person
- "Old Man" has an air of wisdom, and still decrepitude, infirmity, so to say
- it sounds nicely grim
- it refers to Saruman, one of the most interesting characters, and also a rebel
- it is a clear Tolkien reference, but not as obvious as others

Blind lead the blind
Those who chain the future
Are those time leaves behind
Is glory now gone?
A friendship worth of fiends
Is a rose without thorns. </h6></p>
